Said to be a visual aphrodisiac due to its phallic nature

You all know biking makes for some good green…apparently there is a terrible, terrible pun here. LG sends us this great article from the New York Post today.

Part 2 of our 10 part series on why the Greenpeace Eco-Sex Guide is NOT the definitive guide to green sex, where we fill in all the missing pieces that GP created when publishing this list of innuendo.

Today’s topic:

2. Passion for fruit? If you like to use produce to get the blood boiling, make sure it is GE-free.

They go on to cite how the lack of research on genetically engineered (GE) food isn’t extensive enough to know the consequences or consuming them. Mmmmm….sexy. Nothing gets you in the mood faster than blind stupidity. All pRon should have GE strawberries being consumed by unwilling sex slaves. Or three headed mutated asparagus. HOT!

However far from the tree they fell with this one (effin’ PUN!!! Dedicated to GP), they do bring up a good point: food as aphrodisiacs. Ok, so strawberries are one of the most risky foods for pesticide contamination, but they aren’t the only things you can use to increase the libido. Things like organic local honey, avocados, coconut, garlic and soy can all act as edible aphrodisiacs.

Part 1: Let There Bet Light!

Sun Jar by Marinegirl

So stumbling upon Greenpeace’s “Eco-Sex Guide” the other day made me ragingly angry. Of all the organizations “greenwashing” for the hell of it, I least expected to find it amongst Greenpeace’s pages.

So one question for greenpeace: what the hell? Were you really writing a guide or just looking for a space to stick some innuendo? We’re voting this needs to be called the “Greenpeace Big List of…STFU”. Way to tell us how not to get it on but not what to use instead…like lubes. Ok, so we are cutting out the petro based lube, what do we replace it with?

Stick around for our multi-part series on the Eco-Sex Guide Notes. If you want to waste your time with the real thing, check it out here. And then come back, so you can find out how to ACTUALLY put the groove back into being green. (THERE’S SOME EFFIN’ INNUENDO FOR YOU! FREAKS! BEAT THAT!)

1. Turn off the lights.

Yeah, and fall asleep. Half the fun is in the visuals. Want a replacement? Simple, replace them with local artisan organic beeswax candles. Unless you would just rather not see what is going on for whatever your reasons…then more power to you. Sun Jars offer a neat alternative. Buy them at ThinkGeek or make them here.

Just don’t use them for wax games, they burn too hot and can give you a level of pain that might be well beyond your limits. So what’s a girl or boy to do when the other option is paraffin: a crude oil derivative.

Try soy candles and proceed with caution. Check out the ones at Our Green House.Test the candle drip on yourself first, and hold it further away from the skin so it is exposed to the air longer. It will help lower the temperature before it comes in contact with the flesh.

Fair Trade BDSM Silk Bondage
from Coco de Mer| Shop

Bondage for Freedom Silk Blindfold and Wrist Ties - Black

The act of bondage, the symbols of bondage, the handcuffs, the ropes, ties, gags, blindfolds, can represent heaven or hell. We want to convert these symbols; we want these symbols to always represent freedom and consent, not violence and terror.

Gorgeous fair trade 100% black silk ties and blindfold of Coco de Mer’s, Bondage for Freedom kit are embroidered in with: ‘The only real freedom is freedom from fear’. All the profits from the sales are donated to charity as part of Coco de Mer’s newly created non-profit section.

“Bondage for Freedom is the newly created non-profit section of Coco de Mer, it is our political voice, our avenue for dissent, awareness and for raising money for causes that are in desperate need of support.”

Charities include The Angola 3, Reprieve, Burma Campaign UK and The Helen Bamber Foundation.

DIY Green Personal Lubricant
from flashmonkey | Instructable

An interesting instructable on how to make your own Personal Lubricant (or glue if you read the commnets) using water and corn startch. What’s your take? Would you try it? What is your favorite green lube?

I’m sure by now you have heard of the infamous Cuddle Parties, started by Marcia Baczynski and Reid Mihalko as more of an intimate Care Bear gathering than the “polyamorous orgy” tag some are quick to slap on the affair.

So what’s not green about a group of people…laying around practicing the Care Bear Stare? Not a whole lot. But eco sex is not about just layin’ around, where’s the fun in that? The fun is in the oh so delectable cuddles. Cuddle Parties land on EcoLobido for it’s big O’ properties.

Oh? Yeah, O…as in Oxytocin, that delightful anti-anxiety happy drug that puts you in the mood..not the wild-crazed-animal-humping-leg type mood commonly associated with some aphrodisiacs (like alcohol, as visions of frat boys dance in my head) but in a centering way: releasing stress and anxiety that stands in the way of arousal. To find out more on Oxytocin as an aphrodisiac, visit HugTheMonkey.com.

Just remember: safe, sane and consensual people! Hugs are a dangerous thing.

Eco-Friendly Recycled BDSM Tire Paddles

You’ll have to contact the artist directly, but I am sure if you begged on your knees Mr. Unger could whip one up for you on commission. If you think these paddles are hot, be sure to check out the Artist’s Studios for some amazing recycled artwork, including his beautiful green friendly fire bowls.

Krakatoa Handcrafted Granite Dildo

So, you think you have a good relationship with your sex toys? Well, it’s about to get better. Your run-of-the mill toys may give you some good vibrations, but these Harmony Stones take it a step further. They harness the energies and healing properties innately found in marbles and granites (offered in both) without the harmful chemicals found in their plastic and silicon counterparts, each toy is completely unique and handcrafted. Cool, heat or use it at room temperature. Re-energize (and sterilize) the stone by boiling it in a sea salt bath.
